K-Active Kinesiology Tape Black

The K-Active Kinesiology Tape Black is used by athletes and professional sports people worldwide and is supplied in a roll of 5 metre tape and is 5cm wide.

The K-Active Kinesiology Tape Black was developed by the Japanese chiropractor Dr Kenzo Kase in co-operation with the Japanese company Nitto Denko in the 1970s to be used for the method of Kinesiology, the main intention was to support bodily healing processes with a special material utilising a particular application technique.

The K-Active Kinesiology Tape Black is modelled on the skin's characteristics and thus able to transmit positive sensory information to the body. The application techniques were developed through the use of kinesiological tests, which logically gave the therapy and the material its name. The aim of the therapy is not to limit motion but rather to make physiological movement of joints and muscles possible, which in turn activates control and healing.
